2. COURSE CONTENT
2.1 Title of the course
Bachelor of Science in Perfusion Technology
(BSc. Perfusion technology)
2.2 Objectives of the Course-
Perfusion Technology degree course is to provide a competent Cardiac Perfusionist who
is well versed with modern technologies and up to date knowledge in patient care.
A perfusionist, also known as a clinical perfusionist or a cardiovascular perfusionist,
is a specialized healthcare professional who uses the heart-lung machine during cardiac
surgery and other surgeries that require cardiopulmonary bypass to manage the
patient's physiological status.The perfusionist is a highly trained member of the
cardiothoracic surgical team which consists of cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists,
physician assistants, surgical technologists, and nurses. The perfusionist is solely
responsible for the management of the physiological and metabolic needs of the
cardiac surgical patient so that the cardiac surgeon may operate on a still, unbeating
heart. This is accomplished through the utilization of the heart-lung machine,
oxygenator, filters, reservoirs and tubing. The perfusionist is responsible for the
management of circulatory and respiratory functions of the patient so that the cardiac
surgeon can focus on the actual surgical procedure. Other responsibilities include
autologous blood collection and processing, implementation and management of the
intra-aortic balloon pump, adult and infant extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(ECMO), monitoring of anticoagulation, electrolyte, acid-base balance and blood-gas
composition,placing and managing patients on ventricular assist devices as bridge to
3. 2
recovery or heart transplantation and supporting patients receiving lung or liver
transplants and in procurement of cardiothoracic donor organs for transplantation
Cardiovascular Perfusion Technology involves the study of physiology,
pathology and associated equipment used to support and/or assume the function of
the heart and/or lungs during medical procedures. The perfusion technologist prepares
and operates the heart-lung machine and other sophisticated equipment as directed
by healthcare physicians. The perfusionist measures various blood and other
parameters to identify appropriate mechanical, pharmacological and thermal
manipulation to maintain tissue viability. To perform these tasks the perfusionist must
have a thorough understanding of the both respiratory and circulatory systems and be
able to operate complex equipment. Additionally the perfusionist must be capable of
handling stressful situations, pay great attention to detail, communicate effectively,
and be willing to stay abreast of new developments in the profession
This course is to provide a framework to guide safe and effective
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Clinical teams implement the content of this document
when developing institution-specific protocols for patients undergoing cardiac surgery
utilizing CPB.
A Perfusionist shall conduct cardiopulmonary bypass in compliance with
departmental protocols. A patient-specific management plan for the
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedure shall be prepared and communicated to
the surgical team either during the pre- operative briefing or prior to beginning the
procedure.The perfusionist should participate in the post-procedure debrief with the
surgical team.
The mission of the KUHS is to encourage and foster the development of the
profession of clinical perfusion through education and certification, so as to provide
optimum patient care. A perfusionist shall recognize that the term “professional
ethics” incorporates a commitment to service, to competent practice and to
consistent development for the benefit of the community. This code shall guide the
conduct of the perfusionist in all circumstances. Perfusionist who has successfully
completed an accredited educational program and has successfully taken the
4. 3
examinations set by KUHS and BSc Perfusion Technology Degree will be awarded to
them.
The goals of the Degree are diverse and include: -development of
professional standards for perfusion - enhancement of perfusion scope of practice -
development of continuing education programs on national and regional levels -
support of educational programs for entering perfusionists - scientific dissemination
of knowledge
